The game is changing in higher education. Demographics, economics, internationalization, media, and technology are transforming the educational experience, educational institutions, the research process, as well as students and faculty.

Information technology on our campuses can be a key contributor to these transformations, and yet CIOs often find themselves focusing predominantly on execution and operations, with little to no time or resources left for strategy and transformation.

This year's ECAR Symposium, July 28–29 in Chicago, will create space and provide opportunities for CIOs and their campus innovation partners* to interact with one another and some of the most innovative and stimulating strategists working in higher education today. Together we will explore how information technology can be used, not simply to run campus operations efficiently, but to actually transform teaching, learning, research, and higher education administration.

Help Set the Research Agenda and Preview the Student Study

In addition to thought-provoking discussions and talks, you will receive special previews of the results of the EDUCAUSE Student Technology Survey and our thoughts and plans for ECAR and other EDUCAUSE data, research and analytics activities. The ECAR Symposium is also your opportunity to directly influence the ECAR research agenda, which we will finalize and publish soon after the Symposium.

*Innovation Partner: someone with whom you have innovated in the past, someone with whom you aspire to innovate, someone who helps connect you to the higher purpose of our mission of using information technology to advance higher education. Your innovation partner may be an academic leader, a senior faculty member, a colleague from elsewhere in the administration, a librarian, a colleague from a distributed IT organization at your institution, or a senior staff member.

Program

We'll dig deeper into the conference theme, "IT as a Game Changer," during this highly interactive executive workshop. Speakers will interact closely with ECAR subscribers, their innovation partners, and the ECAR fellows during small group discussions and breakout sessions. View program details.
